PREFACE 


The first volumes of the Nippur Collection, Old Babylonian 
Inscriptions, by Prof. H. V. HILPRECHT, 1893-1896, were pub- 
lished over thirty years ago as the first issue of a large plan never 
completed. Many volumes—over forty—followed in discon- 
nected order. A new series, differing in size and cover, was 
begun after 1911. Despite the efforts of fifteen scholars, some 
fragments or even good pieces exhibited since 1890, seem to 
have escaped attention. While engaged upon a survey and 
putting in order of the collection, it appeared to me that a 
small volume of fragments with some whole pieces could be 
collected and presented as a supplement to larger volumes of 
historical inscriptions. The whole material has been sifted 
carefully and even small fragments recovered, adding a few 


signs to texts already published.

ROYAL INSCRIPTIONS AND FRAGMENTS 


The bur-mab of Entemena patesi of Lagash, an alabaster vase with flat 
bottom, slightly tapering sides, and probably a flat mouth. Diam. outside 
23 cm., inside 17 cm., actual height 14 cm. 

A two column inscription ran round the vase which was a votive offering 
deposited in the temple of Nippur. The inscription has been published by 
H. V. Hi-precuT, OBI., part 2, Nos. 115-117. Translation in SAK], p. 34, g. 

While assembling the fragments CBS. 9328, 9463, 9669, 9672, 9690, 9919, 
9920, 9992, 10122, a new fragment, CBS. 14568, with a few signs of the inscrip- 
tion has been recovered, and the reconstructed vase registered under that 
number. Only the lower part of the inscription is here published, with 
addition of the new fragment.

41 The inscriptions of the kings of Agade, as compiled by a scribe of Nippur 
on a large 28 column clay tablet CBS. 13972. About B.c. 2500. The main 
portion of the tablet has been published by A. Poebel in 1914; the text in 
PBS. Vol. V, No. 34; the transcription, translation, and commentary in 
PBS. Vol. IV, pp. 173-242. 

The large fragment now recovered is a portion of the columns 3 to 26 and 
is linked exactly by a few lines to the columns 4 and 25. This important 
historical tablet is almost complete. We give only a transcription and trans- 
lation of the new fragment with reference to the earlier publication of Poebel. 
The fragment was first published in the Museum Journal, Sept., 1923, pp. 
203-220.

The most important information concerns Sargon. His empire extended 
from the lower to the upper sea. He ruled over countries never subjected to 
any of his ancestors. The kings and ishakkus of the North and of the South 
stand as servants before him. Elam and the Persian Gulf are his limits in 
the South; the Lebanon, the Taurus, the Hittite land in the Northwest. 

Sargon’s first drive across the land of Sumer cleared his access to the sea. 
He not only defeated the king of Uruk, Lugalzaggisi, and led him as a prisoner 
through the gate of Enlil, but after a hard and renewed fight he forced the 
other cities, Ur, Lagash, Umma, and Adab, to surrender. Their walls were 
destroyed. They ceased to be a barrier or a menace. Agade became the 
head harbour. The boats of Magan, Melubha, and Dilmun lined the quays 
in front of the city. These old names cover the coasts and countries of Arabia, 
Ethiopia, and the isles of Bahrein. They prove the importance of the traffic 
by sea toward, Egypt and India. Sargon’s campaign was thoroughly suc- 
cessful and he could wash his weapons in the sea. He gave honour to Enlil, 
the master of the Sumerian land, erected monuments to him, had them placed 
as a memorial in the temple of Nippur and engraved with an official inscrip- 
tion recording his victories. The neighbouring countries, Elam and Mari, the 
later Mitani and land of Ashur, made obeisance. 

The northwest campaign along the Euphrates is still more interesting. 
Sargon was here to reach the countries of Mari, larmuti, Ibla, the cedar forest 
and the silver mountain, probably the Lebanon and the Taurus, a country of 


26 


UNIVERSITY MUSEUM——BABYLONIAN SECTION 


fine timber and rich mining, the upper land and the upper sea. The honour 
of the campaign is not this time attributed to the Sumerian supreme God, 
Enlil, but to a new god, Dagan, a stranger, master of the northern country 
along the Euphrates, and patron of a new race, the Amorites. In his own city 
of Didtli—the Tutuli of the Akkadian text—Sargon worships and bends his 
head unto him as to the acknowledged lord of Mesopotamia. 

The location of Tutuli on the river has an historical importance. The shrine 


’ of Dagan marks an early centre of culture of the Amorites. The precise 


site is not yet known, but it might be tempting to identify it with the land 
and city of Hana, south of the Haboras at Tell “‘Ishar near Salhije. 

Several monuments from Tell ‘Ishar and Tirqa seem to connect the place 
with Hana and Dagan. A temple to Dagan was erected here by the Assyrian 
king Shamshi-Adad. On a contract tablet from Hana, the parties take the 
oath in the name of Shamash, Dagan, and Idur-meir, a third indigenous god. 
The tablet is dated in the year when Isharlim, son of Ibi-Marduk, built the 
gate of the palace in the city of Kashdah. There is a king of Hana named 
Tukulti-meir. It means Meir is my protection. Is this the same god as 
Idur-meir invoked above with Dagan? These monuments belong to the 
time of the Cassite rulers. Centuries before, the Hittites had ruined and 
plundered Babylon and while retiring had left in Hana the statues of Marduk 
and Sarpanit, so as to show the superiority of Dagan over the vanquished 
Babylonian gods. 

The prologue of the Code of Hammurabi confirms the importance of Dagan 
of Tutuli. The king himself was an Amorite, worshiper and protector of 
many gods and cities, but Dagan is the particular patron of his race and of 
his family. He rules in his name over the countries along the Euphrates and 
in particular over Mera and Tutul. Tutul is the Tutuli, Diidtli of Sargon. 
Mera must be called after the god Meir, Idur-meir of the Hana texts. 

Under the kings of the Third Ur Dynasty, Diidili is known as a dependent 
and confederate city, sending a body of auxiliary troops as well as Anshan 
and Nippur. A patesi of Ditdiili is named Hunibar and his troops were on 
their way to Diidili under the command of Ishmeani. 

The cult of Dagan was not limited to Hana but extended over neighbouring 
countries, Mari, larmuti, and Ibla. A man of Ibla on the Drehem tablets is 
called Ili ¢7Dagan. The kings of Isin: Idin-Dagan, Ishme-Dagan, were 
probably born Amorites. A foreigner in Babylonia is named Ur ¢Hani, as an 
homage to the god of his original home. The god and country of Hani, as 
different from Hana, have been located in Hittite land west of the Euphrates 
between Carchemish and Antioch. A seal cylinder in the British Museum! —

LEON LEGRAIN—ROYAL INSCRIPTIONS AND FRAGMENTS 27 


has preserved a representation of a war god armed with a scimitar and a sheaf 
of nine clubs and stepping on a prostrate enemy. All the details of beard, 
hair, headdress, and tunic betray Hittite influence. The seal belonged to 
Ha-a-ni-lu-G, son of Hunubim, servant of Agabaraz. The god is attended 
by two minor servants or deities armed with the curved scimitar, while a 
bare headed worshiper or priest with pail and cone, stands on a two tiered 
platform ready to pour the libation. The cult of Hani or Dagan copied 
closely the Babylonian rites. 

The same foreign—Amorite(?)—influence may be traced in proper names 
like Libanuk-shabash, patesi of Marharshi—Mar‘ashPp—and Gimil-Ishhara of 
Mari, along the military and commercial road that led toward North Syria 
and Cappadocia. The Sumero-Akkadian colony which existed at Galashu 
or Ganish! in Cappadocia in the days of Sargon bear witness to the extension 
of the cult of Dagal or Dagan.

E-dur-an-ki, the construction connecting heaven and earth, is the name of 
the great Nippur ziggurat, or perhaps of a shrine on or near the tower. Ham- 
murabi in the prologue of the Code claims to be a good caretaker of Nippur 
and of Duranki. 

The name of Dungi is written without the star, the divine prefix which he 
adopted in the latter part of his reign. The restoration of the shrine and 
tower of Nippur must have taken place early, about B.c. 2275.

A longer text adds between 6 and 7: “the diviner of Anu, the priest of unctions 
and purifications of Enlil, Ninlil and of the great gods, the king whom Enlil 
has called the beloved of his heart to be pastor of the land’’; and between 
9 and 10: “the day, when he built the West Wall (called) Murik-tidnim, and 
the forces of Martu were repulsed from the land.” 

Shara was with Nidaba, a patron god of Umma. _ His relation to Ninni is 
interesting. The fourth year of the reign of Gimil-Sin is dated by the con- 
struction of the West rampart to protect the land from the Amorite invasion. 
The shrine of Shara was dedicated in Nippur about the same time, and its 
gate provided with the inscribed door sockets. 


Cast of a terra cotta vase with an old Babylonian inscription round the

Nippur, 3rd Exp. CBS. 9210. It is referred to by H. V. Hi-precut, Explor- 
atin in Bible Lands, p. 417, as a “vase filled with the choicest oil and pre- 
sented as a bridal gift to some deity.”’ About B.c. 2300.

Or more exactly ‘“‘opening his mouth.” Is this an allusion to a marriage 
ceremony, or perhaps toa divorce? Is the pita Sa pi, a confession of sins? 
The vase contained not oil but water: mé rabasu.

pee and I established, like in the old days, for Marduk my lord, on the 
summit, | disposed it artistically.” 


Hollow clay barrel of Nebuchadnezzar II, with an inscription in three 
columns of 96 lines each. It is the No. 20 of the STEPHEN LANGDON edition 
(pp. 176-187). The barrel is slightly convex at the left and concave at the 
right end. It is pierced with a small finger-size hole on the left and has a 
large opening on the right end. Its height is about 26 cm., its diameters 13 
cm., 17. cm., 14.5 cm. It was bought in London, July 1, 1888, as part of a 
collection of 315 pieces through the efforts of Mr. E. W. Clark and entered 
into the Museum Catalogue, on July 21st as CBS. 9. 

While in London the cylinder was partly collated by the Rey. C. J. Ball 
according to his own statement in PSBA. April 2, 1889: “Last autumn, 
I had opportunity of partially collating a fine cylinder of the same class—as a 
stone cylinder of the British Museum: A. H. 82—-7-14, 1042—but in much 
better preservation. It was afterwards purchased for America. | give the 
various readings and peculiar passage so far as | was allowed to ascertain 
them.’”’—“At this point—Col. III, 35—my examination of the American 
cylinder was interrupted, to my keen regret. I had, however, proceeded far 
enough to secure valuable illustrations of the two ‘cylinders dealt with in 
the Proceedings of May, 1888.’ This was only partly true. 

In 1905, St. Langdon in his work on the Building Inscriptions of the Neo- 
Babylonian Empire, quoted the Rey. C. J. Ball, but was not aware of the 
existence of the cylinder in the collections of the Museum. In 1912 it was 
happily located and quoted in the German Translation of Langdon’s work 
as the No. 20. of Nabuchadnezzar’s inscriptions. But the first part of the 
text was, on Ball’s assertion, supposed parallel to No. 13, the British Museum’s 
cylinder and Ball’s collation used as far as available, to Col. III, 35, the rest 
of the text being supplied by a transcription of Professor A. T. Clay. But 
it is clear that Ball’s collation does not cover the whole text, for the number 
of lines of Col. | and II in Langdon’s edition is only 69 and 57, while the three 
columns of the Museum cylinder have in reality 96 lines each. 

The complete text here published gives details on the construction of 
Marduk and Nabti’s state boats adorned with gold and precious stones. It 
was first published in the Museum Journal, Dec., 1923, pp. 266-281.

Zagmuk the beginning of the year, on the 5th and on the 11th in his going

In the obedience of my faithful heart I attended to these two temples and | 
adorned their structure with gold, silver, precious stones, bronze, Magan and

With rejoicing and jubilation | let Nabi and Nana my lords enter and settle 
in the abode of their heart gladness. To strengthen the defence of Ezida | 
restored the wall enclosing Ezida and the constructions in front of the temple

father had encompassed the city by twice within moat walls of bitumen and 
bricks, | built a third strong wall of bitumen and bricks alongside the two 
others and | joined and connected it closely with the wall of my father and |

the embankment of Arahtu with bitumen and bricks and I joined it with the 
embankment of my father so as to reinforce it.

Ekidurkush the temple of Nin-eanna within the rampart at Babylon and 
I raised high their heads. To strengthen the defence of Babylon, what no for- 
mer king had done [I did]; 4000 cubits of land on the side of the city, far 
off, unapproachable I encompassed with a strong wall toward the East of 
Babylon. - | dug its moat and | reached down to the water level. I built 
its moat wall with bitumen and bricks and I joined and connected it closely 
with the wall of my father and | built on its edge a mighty wall of bitumen and 
bricks mountain high. For the defence of Esagila and Babylon to prevent 
the silting of dry banks in the bed of the Euphrates | had a great dam made of 
bitumen and bricks in the river. | laid its foundation in the depth of the 
water and | raised its head mountain high. 

Col. I]. °81 restored Tabisupurshu the rampart of Borsippa. I led its 
moat wall of bitumen and bricks around the city as a protection. I restored 
for Marbiti, who shatters the arms of my enemies, his temple of Borsippa.

with regard to Ekishibba, his great sanctuary, the temple of his lofty splen- 
dour, which Nabopolassar, the king of Babylon, my father and sire, had built 
and in which he had established Zamama and Bau, in order to strengthen 
the defence of Ekishibba, | built anew the wall surrounding Ekishibba and 
its rooms in front of the court as they were in older days. I strengthen the 
defence of Ekishibba. I made a document to my own name and | laid it 
inside of it O lord Zamama, the powerful shock of whose weapon no one can 
resist, let the work of my hands find grace in thy well-pleased eyes and give 
me as a present, a long life and a plenteous progeny. Defeat the revolted, 
destroy my enemies. In the presence of Marduk, the king of heaven and 
earth, may these (words) be placed in thy mouth: “Nabuchadnezzar is 
indeed the restorer of our temples.”

80 Massive clay barrel cylinder of Nabonidus. It has an inscription in two 
columns of 25 lines each, and a length of 136 mm. with diameters from 42 to 
57 mm. It was bought by H. V. Hilprecht from Shamash of Bagdad in 
Constantinople before 1900 and registered in 1904 as CBS. 16108. 

All the inscriptions of the Neo-Babylonian kings mention the twin walls 
of Babylon: Imgur-Enlil and Nimitta-Enlil. The walls according to the 
present inscription had a length of 25 USH or 8019 meters, one USH being 
equal to 720 royal cubits or to 60 GAR of 12 cubits each. It is exactly the 
same length as found by the German survey of the NE and SE walls of 
Babylon. The inscription was first published in the Museum Journal, Dec., 
1923, pp. 282-287. 


Col. I. ‘4Nabonidus, the king of Babylon, the great, the exalted, the 
shepherd, the restorer, who heads the commands of the gods, the wise, the 
worshiper, mindful of the sanctuaries of the great gods, the perfect prince, 
created by the leader of the gods, Marduk; the offspring of Zakar, by whom 
all kings are created, together with Mu’ati like him a son of Esagila; the 
work of Nin-igi-azag, the wise creator of all things; the elect of Nannar the 
prince, lord of the crown by whom snares are revealed; who is every day 
filled with the fear of the great gods, whose ears are intent on the restoration 
of Esagila and Ezida, the son of Nabf-balatsu-ikbi, the wise prince, I am. 

For Babylon | bethought myself of good deeds. On Esagila, the palace of 
the great gods, | bestowed gifts. To Ezida, the life giver, I granted abun- 
dantly every possible thing. As for Emeslam, the shrine of the hero of the 
gods, | made his riches plentiful. At that time Imgur-Enlil, the rampart 
of Babylon, had grown weak in its foundation and its wall was dilapidated.

LEON LEGRAIN——-ROYAL INSCRIPTIONS AND FRAGMENTS 47 


and Nimitta did no longer exist. In order to fortify its rampart and to 
rebuild Nimitma, | tore down its ruined walls and Imgur-Enlil, the strong 
wall of Babylon, 20 U S in length, as a durable boundary, a continuous 
enclosure, its new circuit a lasting enlargement, its powerful shield I spread 
out in front of the enemies. 


Co. II. '!The cities, the strong places . . . | fortified, like the nests of 
the . . . birds, | raised their walls mountain high. The day when | laid 
the foundation of thy sanctuary(?) I struck ona chest. . . . The inscription 


of the name of a preceding king, which I saw in it, I deposited inside together 
with the inscription of my own name. 

O Enlil of the gods, Marduk of the righteous command, lord, lofty messenger 
of the gods, look with joy on this work. Let all that has been made ever 


stand before [thee |]. To prolong the days of my life shall be the order 
[on thy lips]. Let me never havea rival. . . . May I rule as the pastor of 
allthem. . . . The totality of the dark heads, the whole of [Enlil’s] subjects, 


may I be their lord for ever, may | reign supreme. The kings, the throne 
occupants, founded on the waters, the waters of the deep, may | charge 
them with chains(?) may I exert their royalty. O lord, thy worshiper shall 
grow old, his life shall be doubled, his name shall be supreme. Truly | am 
the king, thy restorer, who takes care of thy sanctuary for ever.
